Early simulations show that it would take only 10 hours for the forthcoming ELT to find signs of life near Proxima Centauri.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of a star and a spiral galaxy, both in the constellation Virgo. But the photo is ...

That's over two-and-a-half times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope's mirror, meaning Webb has six times the light-collecting area. Capturing more light allows Webb to see more distant ...
